AEW

Earlier this week, AEW star Anna Jay revealed that she suffered an injury during the Street Fight against Willow Nightingale and Ruby Soho on AEW Rampage on January 13.

Neither Anna or her partner Tay Melo have wrestled since the match, and we now know more about what has kept Tay away from the ring.

Speaking to Elite POV, Melo detailed a protrusion in her back that she has been dealing with for more than 10 years, and how it effected her ahead of the Street Fight.

She said:

“I have a protrusion on my back, so it’s something that I’ve been dealing with for more than 10 years by now. I know how to go about it.

“Before the match, I started feeling it a little bit, and the doctors in AEW, they’re super good. I told them, they helped me see if it was okay to do it. They asked me, and I was like, ‘I’m gonna do it. Let’s go.’ I’ll never say no, let me tell you, unless I’m really dying. I was like, I’m in pain, I knew I was in pain.

“The day before, let me tell you, I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t walk. At the airport, the walk was so long, we had to get a wheelchair for me because I was not able to walk for too long. It was really bad,”

Tay then explained that she is currently not cleared for action, but is hoping to be cleared in the next couple of weeks.

She said:

“It was getting better. The doctors helped me a little bit. The day of the match, in the morning, they were helping me with a massage and stuff. So I was able to do the match, bur after the match, I knew it would suck because I was already in pain. All the girls and everybody was so nice, and they were helping me because they saw in my face.

“I’m always super excited, I was excited, but you could tell that I was in pain. I’m trying to kind of hide it and let people get worried about me. I’m like, ‘No, I’ll be fine.’ But people know. Then after the match, I checked everything. I went to a couple different doctors and our doctor in AEW.

“So I’m not cleared for now, but I will be really soon. I’m good, don’t worry. I want to be cleared, but the doctor trying to hold me [back] a little bit to make sure I’m 100%. They told me I will be cleared in the next couple weeks, so I’ll be fine,”

Anna Jay detailed the dislocated ribs she suffered during the match.
